[Strophe]
G 
  I'm so passive, too sarcastic 
Bm 
  Shut you out just out of habit 
  C 
I don't know 
          G 
So I spent five months out here treading water 
Bm 
  Now I wonder why you bothered 
  C 
I don't know 
    C     D 
Let me go
[Refrain]
          G                     Em 
Why do you keep reaching for my hand? 
                          C 
Do you see something I can't? 
          G       D        G 
Why do you try to save me? 
                     Em 
This fate is well deserved 
                   C 
I only make things worse 
          G       D        G 
Why do you try to save me?
[Strophe]
      G 
Have I served my sentence? Learned my lesson? 
Bm 
  Healed those wounds from my indiscretions? 
  C 
I don't know 
    G 
Am I still so selfish? Exile ended? 
Bm 
  What do you see in my misdirections? 
  C 
I don't know 
    C     D 
Let me go
[Refrain]
          G                     Em 
Why do you keep reaching for my hand? 
                          C 
Do you see something I can't? 
          G       D        G 
Why do you try to save me? 
                     Em 
This fate is well deserved 
                   C 
I only make things worse 
          G       D        G 
Why do you try to save me?
[Pont]
        Em            G 
And sometimes, I pray 
C 
  That maybe I will change 
     Em  G/F# G    D  C 
Into who you think I am
[Refrain]
          G                     Em 
Why do you keep reaching for my hand? 
                          C 
Do you see something I can't? 
          G       D        G 
Why do you try to save me? 
                     Em 
This fate is well deserved 
                   C 
I only make things worse 
          G       D        C 
Why do you try to save me? 
          G       D    G 
Why do you try to save me?
